    FAQ’s about the Service

    Why should I consider India for a liver transplant?
    India performs over 5,000 liver transplants annually with 1-year survival rates of 90%+ — matching the best centres worldwide. Indian transplant surgeons are internationally trained, many having worked at Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and King's College London. Costs are 60-70% lower than the US or UK ($25,000-$45,000 vs. $150,000-$500,000). India also has extensive experience with living donor transplants, ABO-incompatible transplants, and pediatric transplants. Transplant centres hold the highest accreditations and are NOTTO-registered, ensuring ethical and transparent practices.


    How much does a liver transplant cost in India?
    A living donor liver transplant (LDLT) in India typically costs $25,000-$35,000, and a deceased donor transplant (DDLT) costs $30,000-$45,000. This includes donor evaluation, surgery for both donor and recipient, transplant ICU stay (7-14 days), standard post-operative medications, and hospital stay. Compare this to $150,000-$500,000+ in the US. ABO-incompatible transplants cost $30,000-$45,000 due to additional pre-treatment requirements.
    Can a family member donate their liver for transplant?
    Yes. Living donor liver transplant (LDLT) is the most common type of liver transplant in India. A healthy family member (parent, sibling, spouse, or adult child) can donate a portion of their liver. The liver regenerates in both the donor and recipient within 6-8 weeks. Donors undergo comprehensive evaluation to ensure they are medically and psychologically fit. The donor surgery is performed by a separate team to ensure complete ethical separation.


    How long do I need to stay in India for a liver transplant?
    Plan for 6-8 weeks in India: Pre-transplant evaluation: 1-2 weeks. Post-transplant hospital stay: 2-3 weeks (including 5-10 days in transplant ICU). Post-discharge monitoring: 2-3 weeks for regular blood tests, imaging, and medication adjustment. Donors typically stay 3-4 weeks. Your transplant team will provide a personalized timeline based on your condition.
    What is the success rate of liver transplant in India?
    1-year survival rates for liver transplant in India are 85-95%, and 5-year survival rates are 70-80% — comparable to the best global centres. Success depends on factors like MELD score, underlying condition, donor-recipient matching, and post-transplant compliance. Paediatric liver transplant outcomes are equally excellent with 1-year survival rates of 90%+.


    Is ABO-incompatible liver transplant available in India?
    Yes. Several Indian transplant centres perform ABO-incompatible liver transplants using pre-transplant plasmapheresis, rituximab, and immunoadsorption to reduce antibody levels. This expands the pool of potential living donors when a blood-group-matched donor is not available. Success rates are comparable to ABO-compatible transplants.
